What Programs Work Best for Heroin Addiction?

Question by shannon: what programs work best for heroin addiction?
im writing a paper and i need like a list of all places (different)
and then like what to do when u get outta the program

Best answer:

Answer by Narconon
Without a doubt the best Heroin rehab is Narconon. The Narconon Drug Rehabilitation is the most effective and recognized drug addiction rehabilitation in the world. With over 40 years of experience and a success rate of over 70% makes it by far the most successful rehab for any drug. The success rate of other programs range at around 30%.

I was an addict myself–having done several rehabs–and only recovered 100% until I did the Narconon program. The reason for its success rate is its scientific, holistic approach to rehabilitation. They do not use drugs, hypnotism, evaluations, traditional counseling, brain washing, negative reinforcement, duress, isolation, praying, etc. The addict is a student not a patient. Actually, the program is really fun–at least I had fun–and all the folks that did the program with me seem to have had a lot of fun doing the program too.
